    these are not schools, but more like a 10-12 month course...5 or 6 months 'school' of wich half the time cooking and half the time learning how to wait on tables,
    then 5 or 6 months practice/placed at x hotel/restaurant by the 'school'...here the 'students' work without pay,...after this one gets a certificate issued by the 'school',
    this certificate is basically useless (not recognized by Indonesia)..so the 'school' brings the 'students' to a 'work on a cruiseship-agency'....
    9 out of 10, if getting accepted..end up working on a cruiseship...some actually in the resto but most just clean the cabins and such..

    big business, since the school gets an compensation from the x hotel/resto, and again a 'commision' from the cruise-ship agency...apart from the initial schoolfee's ofcourse.
    don't read between the lines..i think the words are clear enough...:)

    I'd take the scenic route.... get him talking about his relationships with these important foreigners, hopefully he'll get to either complaining about something or other or asking your advice... you then go off at a tangent with small snippets of 'doing business with bule' (the stuff you don't get on an MBA course)... then ease into the core topic.

    I often take the scenic route with friends in jakarta or China when I spot something that I know for sure is going to screw the deal for them.
